In the death of Senator Bankhead the Senate loses the last witness in that body to the faet that the bloody chasm, which nee "separR ted the North and South, has disappeared as completely as if it had never There have been Biany noblo witnesses in the Senate to that bfore -such famous Confederates as John W. Daniel, of Virginia; Hamptod. of South Carolina: Augustus O.

"Bflf oa. of Georgia Edmund W. I'et-ttis and John T. Morgan, of Alabama; Joseph C. Blackburn, of Kentucky; John B.

Gordon, of Geoi-gia Samuel D. McEnery, of Louisiana, and Joseph F. Johusdn, also of Alabama, and all of them numbered as many friends and admirers among men from the TVest and 2worth as among their Southern associate. Senator Toombs, of Georgia, boasted at the beginning of the war that he would live to call the roll of slaves aroiind Bunker Hill Monument. Something far better happened.

Men like Palim, Hampton and Bankhead lived to answer the roll call of freedom in the capital of a reunited nation, and to be welcomed as brothers by adversaries who honored manhood and courage. Perhaps there is nothing in history which parallels the general good will with which these old Confederates were received in the House and in the Senate. Uniou nobility and unaffected kindliness met Southern chivalry halfway and matched it in splendid Americanism. One of the few Northern or Western men who stood aloof, 83 a correspondent recalled the other day, was Mr. Bryan, who, when a member of the House, refused to vote for Mr, Crisp as Speaker, though the choice of the party caucus, because Crisp had been a Confederate soldier.

Senator Bankhead was a manly, strong, straightforward man who deferred the respect in which he was held in Washington and in his own State. The Senate will miss him. but Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, and Senator Warren, of Wyoming, who served as privates fa the Army, will miss him most of all: They belong, with him. to a day thct is defid as to hate, but alive with the of great memories. All of them took 'part in a struggle which enlisted theif whole hearts, and they felt drawn him as one who.

like themselves, had lived in an epoch which ennobled men's souls. The Senate will be a poorer and more commonplace assemblage when the great conflict between the States is no longer represented in Cougress by ambassadors from the camps of Lee and ES A I.K Pit I t'E-P IXIXli BARRED. The practical effect for the moment of fh6 Supreme Court's decision that the -filial "resale prices Toy the" manufacturers' of patent and proprietary com-modfta is unlawful, remains to be seen. likely" to benefit by it, as the retailer Can charge, what he pleases1" hereafter and can cut rates, where there is sharp competition. It' ought to have immediate effect upon retail prices of such com-fciodities, if profiteers do not stand in the way.

Certainly it deprives them of 6ae eicuf-for holding up such prices. Thy can "no longer plead that the resale price is fiiedf by some man higher up. To do so he take a position that the Supreme Court declares is" unlawful. If there is no fall in prices, every purchaser of such goods should inquire why tfife is not. The decision just rendered is not the firt Of its kind.

As far back as 1911 fhfe saine principle was laid down in the case of the Standard Sanitary Company, in which Mr. William L. Marbury was one of the counsel, and which involved what wis called the bathtub trust. In thete was another along the' sanie lines that affected the resale price of safety razors and which caused the re-, tail charge to drop. The Colgate to which, reference was made in The Sun's Washington dispatches' yesterday, seems to have "misled many persons into thinking that the court had reversed itself." That there was such a misconception is apparent from the fact tfeat price-fixing was resumed and has, until been a general pracitice.

That this was liot wholly a popular nilsconCeption is indicated by the fact that in the case just the United- States against Shraders' Sons, fh lower Federal courts in Ohio quashed, the indictments on the ground that. there was no evidence of monopoly in the trade practices of the defendants.

The Old Trait. I want to hit the old trail soon, and take my luck ami go The path the sunbeam sets aflame with all its lovely glow. The old trail to the woodbine lane. The berry patch, and where The heart grows sweet with youth again. And life forgets its care.

I want to hit the old trail when the word goes forth to men That roses wait beside the gate in lands of love again. The old trail to the bless-ed shore, The sweet, tide slipping by, And bluebirds chatting gay once more, And a warm breath in the sky. I want to hit the old trail, sure, and hold it to the end, With buttercups and daisies spread where'er my footsteps wend. The old trail that goea up the hill And then goes winding down Through valleys where the sunbeams thrill The country and the town. 15.

Whether this error is typographical or temperamental is not evident, but that it should be corrected is certain.

Despite the customary tardiness of the first curtain, the lack of ventilation and the unpardonable delays between plays, the Vagabonds are giving a bill this month of such merit as to wake it worth while to endure these needless discomforts. The bill consists of "Trifles," by Susan Glaspeii: "At Night AU Cats Are Gray," by Robert Garland; and the wonderful "Aria da Capo," by Edna St. Vincent Millay, the latter two to be reviewed in The Sun tomorrow. was ably produced by May realistic manner with success. The theme deals in a serious way with the same material as the author's "Supressed Desires." The story is of New England farmer who was foundo strangled in bed and his faded, broken-spirited wife, who is in the county jail under suspicion: The Coroner and.

the Sheriff and a neighbor have come to look for evidence, the latter two bringing their wives. While the men are looking for a clue, the women, through their sympathetic understanding-of one anther, find and hide the motive through telltale trifles. The. story is unfolded with a naturalness and beauty that was moving. Jacob S.

Frank and Fred Marburger were excellent as the Sheriff and the Coroner, and Malcolm Loensfein gas a firm study of the Neighbor. Mrs. S. Johnson Poe was convincing as Mrs. Peters, but to Mrs.

Robert Hunt Walker fell the principal honors iu the difficult role of Mrs. Hale. She gave a subtle, thoroughly natural performance. The curtain had scarcely risen when sense of watching a play; one seemed to be looking at life. The reviewer, has seen this play produced by both the Provincetown Players and the Washington Square Players, but iii neither production was the illusion si real.

FIGHT OVER CONSTABLES NEXT Mayor And Democrats Likely To Clash Over Appointments. A new list of constables for People's Court, two for each ward, is being prepared for City Council by the Democratic leaders. The constables are named through an ordinance, the selectious being made by members of Council. It is understood that the Mahon and Kelly men will attempt to divide the appointments on an even basis, shutting out Republicans. This program is uot satisfactory to the Mayor, and the talk at City Hall is that he will refuses to sigu the ordinance unless his friends in Council arc given recognition on the basis of Republican constables for wards represented by Republicans in the First Branch.

It promises to be the next political tight at the City Hall. To get their lists through the Democrats will be forced to override a veto of the ordinance from the Mayor. "GAS" GOES UP ONE CENT Retail Price cw Is 29 And SO Cents. An increase in the price of gasoline of one cent a gallon went into effect Monday in the district including Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. The wholesale price now is 25J, cents and the retail from 20 to 30 cents.

This, it was stated, i- in line with e.n increase announced about two weeks ago. While there has been no recent increase in kerosene oil, one is looked for shortly. Kerosene now is selling wholesale at lO1, cents a gallon and retail at 20 and 21 cents. Asked for a reason for the advance iii gasoline, a local manufacturer stated that it was due to shortage of crude oil. Many well-owners, he said, were stopping production in the hope of realizing on an advancing market.

CORRECTION Readers are requested to call attention to any errors appearing in the columns of Tiie Sun. Mr. Goddard Paid Fine. It was erroneously stated iu The Sunday' Sun of February 20 that Loroy Goddard.

2202 Fleet street, had beeu sent to jail in default of payment of a fine of $23 imposed 'at Southern Police Court. The fine was paid shortly after its imposition and Mr. Goddard was satisfied, that's their business and not yours, the same as this strike is. You say they receive $1 a day as strikers. Again you re wrong; but this agaiu being none of your business, I will not enlighten yon.

The carpenters and joiners donot have to go into slavery for Mr. Evans. They can get plenty of work, aud if they only stick, everyone of them, they will win. Now, -Mr. Higbee, 1 think you are one of Mr.

Evans' paid radicals, because if you were not, you would not worry and waste time with things that do not conceru you. Now, take a fool's adviec and keep out of other people's business, unless, of course, you are, as I have stated above, one of Mr. Evans' tiaid radicals, as from the stand Mr. Evans has taken he is, as your letter points you to be as much a radical as those deported. This being a free country, with laws equalizing every citizen, he proposes to mak the dry docks a place where nonunion men can advance snd union men cannot.

George L. Gaines. Baltimore, March 2. Denies That Bryan Voted Crisp. To the- Editor of The Sun Sir: I read the letters of Robert Mprley, S.

If they were sports at all they would not squeal.

They must know that 'the question of prohibition was a Jive issue in every election for ten to fifteen years. If they will ask auy man who rau for office anywhere in America he will tell them he was hounded and threatened by the "wets." The Constitution of the United States has never provided for the referendum but the "drys," along with others who favor progress, advocated amendment to jirovi.de for same. The wets in the Legislature voted wet. but they were in 43 States a minority. It those howlers do not bow to the will of the majority they become outlaws Harry II.

Hamill, who also pulled some raw stuff he should have held until he became informed, says Mr. Bryan blacklisted a Confederate soldier in voting for Speaker of the Fifty-third Congress. Hamill is all wrong. Bryan didn't use the language he charges and did vote for Crisp on the floor of the House along with 212 other Democrats. Here are the facts: Ou August 7, 1803, the members-elect of the Fifty-third Congress assembled at 12 o'clock noon and.

were culled to order by James Kerr, of Pennsylvania, clerk of the House. Mr. Kerr after reading a proclamation of June 30, 1893. by President Cleveland and the presentation of certificates of election by the menibers-eiect, announced nominations for Speaker in order. On motion of Mr.

Holman, of Indiana, which was agreed to, the House proceeded to elect a Speaker. Mr. Holman nominated Charles F. Crisp, the Democratic caucus nominee. Mr.

Henderson, of Illinois, nominated Thomas B. Beed. the Republican caucus nominee, and Mr. Kern, of Nebraska, nominated Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, the Populist nominee thn nnlr liullot' taken on the floor Where did Mr. Hamill get his misinformation? W.

C. DlZER. Wilmington, March 1. The People Should Decide. To The Editor of The Sun Sir: Mr.

Howard Bryant's explanation of his stand and opinion ou the School Board expense money in Sunday's Sun is indeed commendable and thoroughly sound. He as no doubt right when he states that 90 per cent, of the people were not- aware that such a state ot affairs exists, and that it is1 up to the people to. say yes or no to the May I add. to any and every proposition affecting 'tho people as a whole, in all national. State or municipal affairs.

Our "late" and lamented Mayor, Mr. Preston, started out in the right direction several -years ago when he had the sewer rental and Patapsco Bridge propositions voted on. But when he found that the voters turned down his "high-faliutiug" schemes he abandoned the idea, and as a result of his infallible intellect, and his arrogant and voracious desire for personal aud political aggrandizement, we have the Preston Place, the Monument Square, Preston's Piggery, the Civic Center, and no doubt other-improvements unknown by. or put over without the consent of, the people. Aud the end is not yet.

There seems to be a multitude of creatures of the Mollycoddle Bryant stripe, who have gone Amendment mad. Legislatures meet and ratify so-called amendments, even though the proposition has been overwhelmingly defeated at the polls, and when it was not an issue during the campaign when they were elected, which is another state of affairs brought about by the Preston machine which elected other than their party candidates. It is my humble opinion, Mr. that if our forefathers, who planned the Constitution, had foreseen what we have been, and are up against, amendments to said Constitution could only have been brought about by the vote of the people. And about the best thing to be done, and done at once, is to pass an Amendment-to that effect.

Otherwise, we will all have to immigrate to a country that in reality is free. F. 11. Schaefer. Baltimore, March 1.

Empty Words. To the Editor of The Sux Sir: The administration promises have gone a-glimmering. Congress has done nothing to better living conditions. Soon every community will be having politicians running to and fro making more, promises. Now why not have gatherings in every community with men expert in finance, iu laborf iu production, to make plain to plain people the causes of the high cost of living, make plain to them how it is with the people themselves to make conditions better.

Surely there is a way to get knowledge to the Whole people. There ought to be machinery available' to do so in civic clubs, etc. Baltimore, Feb. 28. Anxious.

A Republican Voter Ask A Question And Offers A To the Editor of The Sun -Sir: A Republican, not a politician, one who at all the both primary and general, would be pleased to hear from some of the men vho are Urging Chief Judge Sopfer to resign and oppose Mr. Weller for United States Senator this fall. How Uo thcy figure the Judge to be a -stronger candidate than' Weller? If, they will take; the Vote cast for Judge Soper eight years ago, When lie was a candidate for Attorney-General, then take the vote cast for Mn Weller, four yeais ago, when he was a candidate for Governor they will surely see that Mr. Weller made a much better run than Judge Soper. This being true, why should these people be urging the weaker man to be a candidate? 'I wonder if these are the same set of men that became all worked up last fall after James A.

Gary, announced himself as a candidate for and who, many believe, were the cause of Mr. Gary withdrawing as a candidate. Yet very mafiy Republicans still believe that he, Mr. Gary, could have remained in his office in the Equitable Building and would have been elected Governor by a good-si2ed majority. I would suggest that these few gentlemen call themselves together, as they did last fall, and invite Mr.

Weller and, after they have partaken of the good things set before, them by their hosts, they apologize for their mistake of last fall, and assure him, Weller, of their hearty support in the coming election. James K. Dick. Baltimore, Feb. 23.

I "Ambitlona Holer And Monarch Have DLmI Upon The SenffoM For nrpinr The People's Riffhts, But History Failed To IJIs-eover A CiTSHr.en Nation "Whose People Have Laid Down Their Liberties For A Untitle? And Autocratic Power." To Thk Editor of The Sun Sir Accept the congratulations of a groat many of your readers for your' fine editorial of last Friday, the 27th exposing the fraud and false pretenses under which the Eighteenth Amendment "was put over" on an unsuspecting people. Y'ou have handled the situation in a calm and "forceful manner, urging our present Legislature at. Annapolis to lend its best efforts to restore to the people of Maryland and the country their lawful right to, pass upon a constitutional question of this kiud. You have abo justly handled "without gloves" the hypocrisy of the "Mad 'Mullahs'' that have forced this outrage upon us.

It is an outrage so dishonest and, contemptible that the most sober-minded man can hardly speak of it without losing his temper. is unbelievable to think that Maryland, possessing as she does the proud reputation of "never having voted wrong" on any great question, including shivery, the vagaries of free silver, government-ownership, 'Bryanism, tihonld" have stood by mid seen this repudiation of her honor and rights. To think of a once free Government, that has promised and pledged itself for the past hundred years or more to take care of the property of its citizens when stored in a bonded Government warehouse by receiving from them a monthly rental for storage, and then when they desire to take out the property for which the Government was paid to protect, they are refused its possession, and although they have paid for it, they must still continue to pay the storage and are incidentally informed they must also pay more "income, taxes," tor the purpose of which armed guards are to be employed to keep them from getting that which already legally and honestly belougs to them. Now do you think that Lenine and the Bolshevist Trotzky would dare to attempt anything so foreign to common justice and common sense? And yet, a Cougress calling itself "American" has tried to conceal this fraud by a ruse that the most common bankrupt would blush to attempt, by saying "this property could be taken out if sold to the drug trade," when they know full well that unless the drug trade is allowed by them to become more dishonest than any liquor dealer would have dared to' become, they could not dispose of one-half of the liquor in the United States bonded warehouses in a hundred years, and yet it was stored and held by this Government "here in double trust." to use the words of Macbeth when he was urged to murder the guest whom he had promised to protect. The bank or trust company that would for a single day attempt such an outrage upon its trusting depositors would have its doors battered down and its directors thrown into prison, and yet.

we have stood by and allowed these "misrepresentatives" of the people to besmirch the fair name of a State and country that held a place in the "sun" before all the world as the exponent of fair and honorable dealing and the rigid maintenance of the rights and liberties of her people. Ambitious rulers and monarchs have died upon the scaffold for usurping the people's rights, but history has failed to discover a civilized nation in the world whose people have voluntarily laid down their liberties to a ruthless and auto cratic power. We fully agree with your masterly editorial, and hope that our pi-esent Governor and Legislature will combine in a "giant's strength" to beat back this serpent of dishonesty and fanaticism, dangerous both to this State and Governments Wm. H. Bryan.

Stewart Bldg. Baltimore. March 2. The Bonn. To the Editor of The Sun Sir: Tour editorial on February 21 on the proposed bonus legislation leaves the impression on the average ex-service man that you do not wish to take a definite position on what is fundamentally a question of justice.

The editorial implication is that it is a question of necessity forced upon Congress by fear of au influential minority, and yon discuss merely the financial as: pects of the problem. Would it uot be fairer to the ex-service man. as well, perhaps, as indicative of moral courage, to state definitely your views, whatever they are. on the justice of the proposed legislation? The resolutions of the American Legion were, before you when you wrote your editorial, showing that at the Minneapolis convention, in November, the issue was left entirely to Cougress for action in the confidence of fair treatment to the ex-service men; and that active steps were only taken by the American Legion after many mouths of Congressional inaction. In common with many others.

I regret that this deviation from purely altruistic activities was forced upon the Legion. I feel, however, very strongly that in now taking up this matter, the Legion is properly representing its members, and from an intimate knowledge of at least one battalion that served in the war, I know- that the demand iS based by most ex -service meu on a claim of right and not ou a power to obtain legislation, right or wrong, as your editorial implies. If you believe the legislation just, can you not give it your wholehearted support, however unpleasant it may be to pay just debts? If you believe it unjust, why surrender to necessity or to' a minority, however powerful or influential? Frank B. Ober. Baltimore, Feb.

21. Mr. Gained lleplies To Mr. Higbee. To the Editor of The Sun Sir: Please publish this reply to Mr.

Harrison H. Higbee. Mr. Higbee would like you to read Mr. Evans letter covering a whole page in, I think, last Wednesday's Sun, and you will see that you are led astray.

Mr. Evans states in this page who will you believe Mr. Evans or Mr. HickcyV Should the public believe Mr. Evans he says he is for open shop, in' which he wants every man to share alike, at the same time all this trouble started over a notice of his giving every, foreman 30 days to drop the union or give up his position as foreman? Now, could you feel that with open shop Mr.

Evans could give every man an equal chance when he is at-present requiring every man who is foreman to sign an affidavit that they hate 'withdrawn-' from the union? This stand taken lry Mr. Evans makes it impossible foi- a union man in his open shop to advance. You should read and enlighten yourself on. conditions existing before vou write. There' are no radicals leading this strike the men themselves started this to protect their interest, which Mr.

Evans' letter in The Sun will show needs protection. Y'ou say that unions did not advance Mr. Victim's wages. -It can very easily be proved otherwise, as the present day scale was received through the co-operation of the. men of these trades.

You. state my weak point is that 1 say that all mechanics" are not first-class, as this is almost impossible. Therefore, I would say that if you had a lot of mechanics working for you, there is nothing compelling you to keep on working, the worst one. Now, if be is worth the scale you are asked pay them, you should be very glad to get the best for the same money, and' if they are UOJl-Ti'K "TAXDI'OLVT OP THK -'Only'' brains, free fron) 'ordinary tual caiiablc of understand-j ing the tcciinifT.litje's of decisions such as the Supreme Court has just rendered in the case of the States Steel 'Corporation, and of reconciling "the rea-! zoning in this with that ti the StandarJ Gil and Tobacco cases. The.

broad ground that it seems to take-is; how ever, easily grasped. It isV the distinction between good and bad corporations made by Mr. Roosevelt, and it follows the Biblical decision that a sinner who repenteth and turneth away from the sins he has committed shall save his soul alive. Having led a new life for years past, its old offenses should cot be counted against it, not only as a matter of equity, but because. the second place, its dissolution would harm, not help, the public interests.

The lioose-I ve'tian vic.v receives distinguished in- dorsemeut at last. With this guiding thread the average wayfarer can walk out of the legal labyrinth and get into the open again. But lacking that he would be inextricably lost. That common sense is sometimes recognized as the last resort of courts of last resort, is a cheering reflection to the man in the street. Would that it were recognized more frequently.

Too often the legal web is spun so fine that only the most acute intellects can follow its threads of reasoning. One thing that is clear to the laymen is that Supreme Coiirt Justices, like doctors, have a Avay of disagreeing with each other. Five-to-four decisions in great cases have come almost to be ex- pected, and reversals in such instances have occurred. If Justices McRey-nolds and Bracdeis had taken part in this decision it would have been five to four against the Steel Corporation, instead of four to three in its favor. They could not act.

according to the ethics of the Supreme Court, because Mr. Brandeis. then a private citizen, was instrumental in having the dissolution suit brought, and because Justice McReynolds while Attorney General prosecuted the suits. The court was deprived of full membership by this circumstance but even had they free to act. the decision would still have been made by the close vote of five to four.

It may be interesting to speculate how far such prior commitments should debar a member of the court from acting. A mere lawyerchanges his mind many times in the course of a year as to wlyit the law isl and what it means, according to the side on which lie is employed. The legal mind has a nonpartisan facility in the ease with which it takes new views of old questions. A judge is supposed to have an absolutely open mind on public questions that may come before him. To be prominent enough to be nominated for the Supreme Court he must necessarily have expressed opinions or held opinions as a lawyer on all the principal issues of Iiis time.

Could wre have a Supreme Court at all, if it were composed of men whose mental pages had never been written on? If members of the court are to be disqualified for having supposedly irreversible minds, might it not be practicable, so as to secure a full bench in important cases, to have certain judicial understudies from the lower courts authorised to act in their places in such contingencies? That might not secure unanimity, but it would, at least, prevent, as in this case, the numerical reduction of the court by nearly one-fourth. It is impossible, of course, ia the nature of things to expect unanimity among judges any more than among juries. Even when educated to the nth power, men are only human, and it is eminently human to disagree. But, nevertheless, the effect on' the public mind of repeated disagreements and of decisions by narrow margins iu our highest judicial tribunal is not favorable to belief in its infallibility. Its authority is moi' or less weakened in the estimation of the average man.

He wonders how long such interpretations will be honored by the interpreters themselves, how long what they declare law will remain law in their own judgment. There is no remedy, of course, for this difficulty, but the difficulty remains, and serves, to some extent at least, to promote doubt as to the finality cf such decisions, and to give them a rather unsatisfactory and unconvincing aspect. JAPAA Those political philosophers who view-Japan as the Oriental Prussia have been quite confident in their opinion that Japan would never get out of Siberia Her protests to the contrary, have beeu re-ceived with a smile. Imperialistic nations always talk that; way. they say, but they act differently.

Somewhat 'with this theory is the fact, which various dispatches to this country-in recent months have brought 'out, that an section of Japanese, opinion' has been hostile to thiy Iberian" expedition and has urged the vithdlawal.of the Japanese troops from that country. Perhaps the explanation lies in the special cable to Tnic Evening Sux on Monday last from Peking, saying that unless Japan withdraws from Siberia, it will have to face not only a united Russia, but also' revolution iu Korea and possibly war with China. If Japan is confronted with the necessity either of withdrawing from Siberia or fighting with Korea and China, it is very likely to leave Siberia. America' would be glad to Japan out of Siberia, but it has no power to compel the withdrawal. If these other forces operate to that end, however, we can be well content.

Another Lodge reservation has been adopted by a more than two-thirds vote of the Senate. But it is again one of those about which there is little difference of opinion. The New York Assembly is going to investigate Mr. William IT. Anderson, which is only fair play, Mr.

Anderson having spent the greater part of the time he has been in New York in investigating the Assembly. if 1 i it i.
